But my buddy shot a dall sheep in the Brooks range and they came in stole his horns and hide and tried to bury them. When he found them the were running off with some meat growling. He tried to take a pot shot at them but couldn't connect. They definately are down right onrey!!

If my memory serves, they were found in Idaho, the mother was killed somehow. Given all rehabilitated critters at NW trek are released locally, I believe they will be released somewhere in State.
